LEADERSHIP JOURNEYS - Celebrating leader's journeys today. Congratulations to Andrew Sackey who has been appointed as Head of Office at Pinsent Masons. When reposting the below announcement on his LinkedIn corner, Andrew shared 🎤: "Homeless at 14, head of London office at (classified 😊) - it’s been an interesting journey… Many thanks to family, friends and colleagues who have helped me navigate the twists and turns along the way!" It's important we recognise that journeys to senior roles are not always straightforward. It's important that leaders feel they can honest about the "twists and turns" in their personal or career journey. This honesty truly inspires others to stay determined and to progress in their careers. It's important that as we progress to senior roles, we continue to recognise those who have worked hard alongside us. Every leader has a team working alongside them, making things happen. Thanks to Andrew Sackey for inspiring today's post about leadership. Congratulations to Carolyn Saunders for everything you have achieved in your role as London office head for the last six years. #leadership #Leaders #PinsentMasons #LawFirmLeaders

Was thrilled to serve on an esteemed panel of chief legal officers, LaTanya Langley, Deneen Donnley and Rashida La Lande and moderator Conway Ekpo at the Exchange powered by Quantum Leadership Foundation discussing how we navigate, build and lead law departments while partnering with our colleagues in the C-suite. I always learn so much at these events but here are a few takeaways: 1) Recognize whether your charge is to bring change or stability 2) CLO has two meanings--the obvious one and Chief Listening Officer 3) Assess talent and look for the hidden gems. You may find it where you didn't expect to. 4) Be clear about what's important to you in your personal life and honor that 5) Get help and don't be shy about it 6) Identify what you want to influence and then make a plan to do that 7) Remember "that what got you there won't sustain you". 8) CLO's have to have courage, so don't get the job and lose yours 9) The first thing you need to do when you get promoted is to promote yourself and realize that leaders are hired to lead, coach and develop their teams. 10) CLO's are hired to be strategic advisors not just compliance attorneys. A failure to recognize that shift in focus can be devastating for your team, your company and your career.

Great insight on what it takes to be a successful CLO and business leader.
